Can we supply a raw diamond made from ashes?
We've been asked a few times if we can supply the raw diamond crystal made from the ashes of a loved-one, well we could I suppose, but what would be the point? The idea of cutting and polishing diamonds is to capture the flashes of fire, the scintillation of light which diamonds do so well. You may as well encapsulate your ashes into glass, it would be cheaper and probably more suited. So I think we have to decline from even going there, after all 'fancy' diamonds arre so valuable in any case, it would be a shame to make a diamond out of a loved-one and then present it a just a rough crystal. Better to cut and polish it to allow it to shine and last forever.

Brilliant cut canary
On beauty from a recent batch made from 'Cremains. Brilliant cut with 58 facets. The cut used gets the best light return and offers scintillation which cannot be surpassed.
New diamonds from the lab'
This is a 1 carat canary yellow real diamond made from 'Cremains - just 100 grams, however it took 10,000 tons per sq.inch and 1300c for a few weeks. Then from the 3 carat crystal it was cut in the ubiquitous 'brilliant' cut (which has 58 facets) - not too deep and not too shallow to allow the light to pass in and straight out but split into all the colours of the rainbow.
